“RIB KNIT & SHEER”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

………………..I always loved the combination of ribbed knit with different fabrics, and mixing it with sheer was one of my favorites. I also loved rib knit garments on their own…I do admit, ideally you should have a fit body to wear them successfully….However, I have seen plenty of women with less than fit bodies who look pretty good in ribbed garments…Starting at the left is a rib knit tunic with band pockets and a leather belt worn over a sheer midi length georgette tulip skirt…..Next a rib knit jacket combined with a smooth Milano knit collar, lapel and band front. It also had band pockets and Milano knit sleeves. This is an example of one garment using different types of knit in the same yarn…..It too is worn over a sheer tulip midi skirt….Next is a “romper”, which truly is a terrible name for a garment, but it is not a bodysuit which would have a snap crotch which this did not. The rib knit short sleeve top is attached to a jersey knit bottom…The neckline is a sort of fully fashioned square, but not totally square…..It is shown with a sheer short tulip shaped hip hugger skirt, and a wide contour belt……The next three items are different versions of  rib knit dresses…..The sketch to the extreme right is a short, single button stretch denim jacket, with rib knit sleeves worn over a sheer shirt, and low slung denim slim pants……I always played with different types of ribs for different effects for different styles of garments and fabrics…..Some ribs were cut and sewn, and others were fully fashioned…….What ever the combination I always thought they looked fresh and new, and gave off a chic casual vibe.
